CAT 2022: How to get 100 percentile in 70 days

The Common Admission Test (CAT) 2022 is scheduled to be held on November 22. Here are some tips to crack the exam in two months.

With the D-day around 70 days away, it is the right time to take stock of certain important factors in the preparation for CAT and also plan ahead.

Many of you are likely to have reached the crucial stage of preparation where significant portions are covered and mock test scores have taken over all the attention and time, especially as they are not at the desired level and in some sense are mocking at you.

There is a good chance that learning the fundamentals has taken a back seat and all the focus is on trying to improve the mock scores.

Strong fundamentals are the key to success in every sphere of life and CAT is no exception. For those who have covered more than 50% of the syllabus, the next one month should be spent in revising the basics of multiple topics, mainly those that were learnt/covered at the beginning of one's preparation or the tricky concepts such as time, speed and distance, numbers etc.

Exactly the opposite is recommended for those who have recently begun their preparation or are about to start(commence your preparation right away with a positive attitude and a firm belief that it can be done, with the knowledge that a host of students have done it before and aced the CAT with about three months of thorough preparation doing the right things every single day).

You are so engrossed in learning the fundamentals of the three areas and possibly have postponed your schedule for taking the mock tests, fearing that the lack of conceptual knowledge is going to hamper your chances of performing well in them.

This is absolutely not true as the first two sections, VARC and LRDI, are independent of concepts/syllabus and performing decently in them is purely a function of practice and variety in practice. PRACTICE nonetheless. Even in the third section of QA, many questions are based on pure aptitude/common sense and X standard level mathematics.
